- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl or a mason jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, fresh orange juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until they are fully emulsified, or if using a jar, secure the lid and shake well for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
